A well-known feminist saying states “silence is violence.” For many transfolks that is not true. Often times our voices are the part of us that is not read the way we identify. For those of us who cannot afford or choose not to take hormones, we must fear being outed every time we speak.

That’s the reason for this zine. It is a space for local transfolks to write about their experiences and share knowledge without this fear. We live in a world where 1 in 3 trannies will be killed so we must create new ways to survive. It is my hope that this zine is one of them.

This zine has information on Marie, her case, and the greenscare, with excerpts from Between Orwell and McCarthy: The Crucifixion of Marie Mason by Henry Reed and Marie’s statement at sentencing. It also contains some of her poems and drawings.

This is a zine format of the article Between Orwell and McCarthy: the Crucifixion of Marie Mason
by Henry Reed from Fifth Estate that has an “about marie” and “about the green scare” on the inside from cover and instructions for writing to marie on the back cover. Another zine that will include her poems and drawings is in the works.
